lars down and drive away in
something called an automobile.
Unless he is extremely careful,
he is a menace on the highway."
The Air Force and others
have the same problem. The Air
Force, for example, estimates
that it loses many more men on
leave on the highways than it
does in the air.
"When a pilot and his crew
are aloft," one general once told
me, "they are especially care
ful. They have been taught that
rot only are their own necks
being risked, but their hitch
hikers as well. Not to mention
a couple of millions of dollars
worth of government property
in the form of hard-to-replace
aircraft."
The Army knows that the re
duction of accidents in private
driving depends to a great ex
tent on the voluntary action of
the individual driver.
Careless Off Base
The Army, as you may know,
has long had an educational pro
gram directed at the men who
drive their own cars. The men,
and women of the Arrriy are
smart enough to know they
would be in real trouble if they
violated the speed laws on their
bases. But, sometimes, they get
a little careless on leave when
turned loose with a heavy foot
on a high-powered machine.
"Soldiers," an Army man told
me, "are encouraged to take
public transportation on long
trips during their leaves
rather than take their own cars.
We would rather that they
leave their hacks in the lot on
the base. Both the men and the
car would be safe."
The campaign seems to be
making a little progress. The
Army reports that during the
first five months in 1955,. there
was a 16 per cent decrease in
the number of Army deaths on
the highways in private cars.
ANOTHER REVERE RIDE
Portsmouth, N. H. (U.R)
Paul Revere made a ride or two
beside the Lexington trip. For
instance, he rode to this city
Dec. 13, 1774 to warn the pat
riots that the British were plan
ning to remove powder from
Fort William and Mary. The
next day, the patriots seized the
fort and its ammunition. It was
the first aggressive act of the
Revoluionary War.

Authorities Seek
Cause of Death
Of Young Heiress
Philadelphia (U.R) Author
ities today studied a series of
medical reports for a clue to the
strange death of a 22-year-old
bride who was heiress to a food
chain store fortune.
The bride, Mrs. Doris Jean Sil
ver Oestreicher, collapsed and
died Thursday while visiting
friends here.
Her physician, Dr. A. Samuel
Manstein, who attended the girl
when she died said her death
was "a mystery to me."
Cause Not Revealed
An autopsy ordered by Dr.
Melville J. Aston, medical ex
aminer, apparently failed to re
veal the cause of death. Dr.
Aston report&d that the cause of
death "will be determined at
such a time when all necessary
laboratory studies can be com
pleted." Dr. Samuel H. Katz said he
had been treating the attractive
red-haired socialite for five
years. He said her health was
good except for minor ailments.
Dr. Louis Tuft, an allergist of
the Temple University Hospital
staff, said Mrs. Oestreicher had
been his patient since childhood
and had been receiving hay fever
treatment until last May.
Funeral services for the young
heiress were scheduled for to
day. Mrs. Oestreicher, eloped with
Earl Michael Oestreicher, 29, a
Miami Beach, Fla., motorcycle
patrolman, last June 24. The
couple separated two weeks ago
and Mrs. Oestreicher returned to
the home of her parents.
Met On Florida Trip
Friends said the couple met
while she was visting her uncle,
Samuel Friendland of Miami
Beach, founder and board chair
man of Food Fair Stores, Inc.
Her father, Herman R. Silver,
is vice president of the food store
corporation.
Oestreicher arrived here by
plane Thursday but declined to
comment on his wife's death. His
father, head of the Chicago
Wood and Coal Co., said in Chi
cago that his son telephoned him
two weeks ago about the sepa
ration but did not appear dis
turbed. He said his son told him
his bride had become homesick
for her family and that the sep
aration would be temporary.

Baked Peaches
Take six fresh peaches and
bake them like this. Peel peaches
cut in halves and remove pits.
Place in a baking pan with cut
sides up. Dot with two table
spoons butter and sprinkle with
one-fourth cup brown sugar.
Bake in a hot oven, 400 degrees,
15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm
with cream or with vanilla (or
peach) ice cream. Six servings.
Blueberry Pudding
Glorious eating when done
with fancy blueberries or with
wild huckleberries.
Put two cups berries in six
greased individual baking dishes
and sprinkle with one-third cup
of sugar. Mix another one-third
cup of sugar with one-fourth tea
spoon salt, one-half cup flour in
a double boiler or saucepan over
low flame and stir .in 1V4 cups
milk gradually.
Cook, stirring constantly until
thickened. Beat three egg yolks
until thick and stir the hot mix
ture into them gradually. Cool
to lukewarm and add the "vanilla
Fold in the stiffly beaten egg
whites and pour over the ber
ries. Place in pan of hot water and
bake in moderate oven, 326 de
grees, about 45 minutes. Serve
warm and if desired pass cream
pitcher on top with whipped
cream or soft ice cream.
Fresh Corn Soup
A mighty fine and flavorful
soup for mid-day or supper-time.
Start with raw corn. Husk eight
medium ears of corn and remove
the silk. With point of knife
cut a gash down center of each
row of kernels. Scrape the rows
lengthwise, downward only, until
pulp removed.
Combine corn pulp with five
cups of milk in double boiler
or saucepan over very low heat.
Add two tablespoons butter; cov
er and cook 20 minutes, stirring
frequently. Season with salt and
pepper. Six servings. We're
among those who add one-half
cup grated cheese to this toward
the end of the cooking. Makes
good main dish, requiring only
sturdy salad, dessert, beverage.
Hot and Hearty. Take any
meat or cheese, or meat and
cheese sandwich, dip into egg
beaten with milk and pan-fry in
bacon drippings, butter or mar
garine until well browned on
both sides. Serve hot.
Made Brownies Lately?
Bet a nickle the family would
love some home made cookies
If you're brownie-hungry and
haven't one of those brownie
mixes handy, here is a recipe
that is almost as quickly made
as the packaged ones. And you're
almost certain to have handy for
the making. How about letting
the children help. Or let the
children make them! They're
that easy.
Vi cup butter
2 squares unsweetened choco
late 2 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
V2 cup sifted flour
V teaspoon baking powder
Vt teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nut meats
1 teaspoon vanilla
Melt butter and chocolate over

add sugar gradually and beat
thoroughly with spoon. Add but
ter and chocolate; beat well. Mix
and sift flour, baking powder
and salt. Add nuts and stir into
first mixture. Mix well and add
vanilla.
Bake in a buttered pan about
eight inches square in a mod
erate oven, 350 degrees, for about
25 minutes. Cut into squares
while still warm. Frost with
butter frosting if you like though
many think them perfect just
as they come from the oven.
Makes nine squares.
Cranberry Glazed Chicken
Plenty of broiler-fryers at very
reasonable cost. Using 2Vz pound
cut-up broiler to make four serv
ings, coat chicken pieces by
snaking in bag containing one
half cup flour, two teaspoons
paprika, two teaspoons salt, IVz
teaspoons ground cinnamon, one
teaspoon ground ginger, one
fourth teaspoon ground pepper.
Brown slowly in one-half cup
medium hot fat in skillet, turn
ing as necessary.
Spoon off all but one-fourth
cup of the fat; add one table
spoon water, cover tightly and
cook over low heat for 20' min
utes. Crush IV2 cups (one pound
can) whole cranberry sauce with
fork; blend with one-half cup
water. Pour one cup this mix
ture over chicken; add five whole
cloves. Cover and simmer 15 to
20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Turn as necessary to prevent
sticking. Add remaining cran
berry mixture and simmer un
covered several minutes to re
duce cranberry mixture to a
thick sauce. Add more cinnamon
and ginger to taste if it seems
a good idea. Remove cloves.

Talk about a bonanza! Or hit

are overflowing with an abund

only things we didn't see today
were parsnips and pumpkins and
they dont' appeal to us right now
any way.
Meat counters offer excellent
buys in beef of all grades with
really good specials on inter

flavorful long-cooking cuts with
versatile hamburger good for
at least one main meal a week.
Pork is plentiful and increasing
in supply with lower prices.
Even tender Spring lamb is read

Good values in cold cuts!
Poultry men offer plenty of
chickens for frying, broiling, bar

Physician Favors
More Autopsies
Chicago (U.R) A physician
coroner said today more autop
sies should be performed.
Dr. Henry W. Turkel, coroner
of the city and county of San
Francisco, said in an article in
the Journal of the American
Medical Association that a cor
oner should perform between 20
and 25 autopsies for every 100
deaths.
Turkel said autopsy is the
only certain way to find a true
cause of death. Frequently, he
said, an autopsy will uncover a
crime which otherwise might
pass unrecognized.
Turkel said a study of 400
consecutive cases handled by his
office showed that alarge per
centage of deaths would have
been attributed to incorrect
causes if no autospy had been
performed.
us, fine variety and values in
coast-caught fish. Fresh fillets
and frozen fillets. Steak and
baking favorites are Chinook
salmon, northern halibut. Pan
readies include Eureka rex sole,
Idaho brook trout, fresh water
smelts. Good variety too in. shell
fish both fresh and frozen. How
about some good Pacific frying
oysters?
Rice Good Eating
Plentiful rice makes very good
eating with all kinds of meat,
poultry, fish. It appears more
often on more American tables
as growers offer perhaps the big
gest crop ever grown; more than
than 47,000,000 100-pound bags.
Packed with good nutrition as
well as being tasty.
Vegetable abundance makes
easy meal planning with cab
bage, cauliflower, corn, lettuce,
beans, potatoes, cucumbers, top
ped carrots, Italian squash, pep
pers, tomatoes. Quality excellent.
Fruit displays offer peaches
(and if you're canning or freez
ing or preserving, you'd better
be about doing it), Bartlett pears
to delight for eating out of hand,
in salads, baked. Gravanstein
apples are at their very best and
remember that their season is a
brief six weeks or so. Grape va
riety is increasing and Kadota
figs, both fresh or canned, make
good eating. Prunes are coming
in. There's plenty of cantaloupes
and watermelons at , seasonally
low prices and reasonable prices
on the fancier honeydews, Per
sians and cranshaws.
Canned applesauce, apple
slices and canned grapefruit seg
ments are very good buys; make
good eating at any meal, plain
or fancy. ,
Remember ice cream, concen
